Movement speed glitch ?

M_Vegeta · Jul 11, 2010

Hi poeple i am building a kind of Burning and cold spell!!

the spell work on spell duration : if a certain boolean is true the unit will get movement speed slowed!!

but what if happen if this targeted unit had a buff speed with Experation timed example 500. if this buff end up while the cold is not end he will gets his 500 buff speed without getting the real buff itself. how can i fix that ?

here is my code im not sure if i did right some1 can help me

Not really sure of the problem, but, as far as I understood, why not using a boolean comparison Unit - Unit has specific buff? If it doesn't, remove it from your Unit Group.

M_Vegeta · Jul 11, 2010

I have thought about it but imagin if the map have alot of different speed buff :/ wanted to use this as last resort

isnt there a way to compare speed begin and end to make it like if the speed at the end is 2 different from the origin than we do a fix formula &?

Begin 500

getting 350 in middle of spell

spell end put begin speed = 500

Still, no matter how many buffs there are, a buff check will prevent collision of other effects or unwanted removal of speed. A unit that is slowed can still retain a speed bonus buff.

Cool Thanks ill use buff comparaison

MortAr · Jul 12, 2010

You could use "Tornado (Slow Aura)", it has both a buff placer and movement speed reduction.
Also it has no UI icon and a SFX.

Dr Super Good · Jul 12, 2010

Additionally you could create a system to handle speed stacking. It would probably need to consit of some sort of linked list system within a few parralel arrays so that you can support a variable level of stacking per unit.

well ill use the buff >.> added in a spell book added to a dummy
